-As I'm leveling, should I take Lancer to 50 before I take Dragoon? Or do the non-advanced jobs have a lower cap?

-What is the difference between a Linkshell and Free company?

-Is there a place I can bank all my crafting materials I'm finding? I'm still learning the basics and I don't want to overwhelm myself with the crafting.

(Such a low cap limit on forum posts!)
